NZ v Oz - SCORE PREDICTION?

May be an idea to talk about the other match now!

Australia know they can beat NZ and did so in winning the tri nations. Miracle or not they overcame South Africa and are now playing their biggest rivals minus Dan Carter.

I don't think Australia winning would be considered an upset, but I think they will up their game and sneak it.

Australia 21 - 20 New Zealand

I hope not.
Im confident.
No beale and a cooper who needs to find form quickly will blunt the oz attack. Leaving the oz forwards to deal with the ab pack who we are told will be out to monster them. And pocock.
Some of those oz forwards took a beating last week.
I think we have them covered across the park
we'll have to wait and see.

I was thinking will it be an high scoring game or a low scoring game like it was today.I do think we will see more trys that we did today. But still do not think that their will be much in it.

Yeah maj.
Seems close battles seem to be the norm for the tier one matchups.
NZ have already broken that mould with 20 over arg and france.
Picking for that to continue here.

The AB's surprisingly to CHOKE, and Australia to win by the odd score, so i'll guess for 12-10 to oz.

Having said that i really can't wait and feel quite nervous and agitated and i'm 1000's of miles away with my team knocked out!! So how are those Kiwi's handling the expectation and aspirations of an entire nation?

I really wouldn't like to be in NZ tomorrow if they do lose!! C'mon Aussie c'mon!!

Aus 24 NZ 19

What's this prediction based on? Just a gut feeling.

Dont worry milk.
Predictions like that are usually based on such things.
Probably cos the actual logic isnt really there.
Same with choking. Another security blanket.

Dont worry warrior. NZ will still be the greatest place on earth to be in the morning. Win or lose.
At some level many kiwis actually expect to lose as winning a world cup final hasnt been common lately. This team is about to turn that confidence around- the buildup being all about how to win knockout rugby.
And if we should learn that tonight it could be a tough road ahead should we attend one of these again. We'll just have to see.
But if we do get up tonight one thing i can guarantee is france will be in serious trouble next week.

To all you kiwis and ab supporters the world over.
Get up and support the team and GH as its now our turn.
Theyve got this far and after yesterday chances are tonights match is the true final.
Go the All Blacks. Kia kaha and give em a taste of kiwi!!!!!

One thing I do know is that I hope noone gets sent off, I couldnt bear a repeat of what the NH posters put themselves through overnight.

True. But the sending off and the result were two different things.
Like SA chances were plenty despite the ref. They just werent taken.
Same with us 2007. No hiding behind the ref. I reckon this team is ready to take them.
We have to get the points on the board. Again and again and again.
I think our forward power will be way too much.
